Done. Got to the polling place at about 7:15, slightly after it opened, as a result of Google Maps not knowing quite where it was. Was done at about 9:00. Certainly my longest wait to vote ever, but I'm glad that I did. I'm also glad that I didn't wait until later; it's possible that it wouldn't have been as bad, but it seems equally likely that it would have been worse (I live in Baltimore County, which is fairly densely populated)

~grin~ I also got about half of my homework assignment for tomorrow finished in my head. Now I just have to copy it out onto paper... and figure out the other half ^_^;

If you haven't yet, and you can, I encourage you to go and vote as well.

Current Mood: accomplished

It seems like every election--especially recent ones--many if not most people feel they are being offered two bad options and their criteria for picking who they vote for are centered around which one of them they feel would be less awful as President.

This has aroused my curiosity.

What characteristics do you want the President to have? What skills do you think are necessary to do a good job in the White House? What experience do you think is necessary to qualify a person to lead this nation? What issues must the President be focused on, and what must their stance be on each? What are things that they must not have/say/do/believe?

Is it even possible for such a person to exist, or are we going to be stuck with making the best of bad choices from here on out? Has it ever been anything but that? Can it ever be anything but that?
